GEHL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 28, 1997 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the information furnished for the three- and six-month periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996 includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the Company. The results of operations for the six months ended June 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and, if applicable, common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants. The weighted average number of shares used in the computations was 6,479,316 and 6,228,153 for the three months ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996, respectively, and 6,441,828 and 6,215,599 for the six months ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996, respectively. NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES The income tax provision is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to income before income taxes. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast of pretax income, permanent book/tax differences, and tax credits. NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES If all of the Company's inventories had been valued on a current cost basis, which approximated FIFO value, estimated inventories by major classification would have been as follows (in thousands): June 28, December 31, June 29, 1997 1996 1996 Raw materials and supplies $ 4,151 $ 3,547 $ 3,713 Work-in-process 10,146 9,120 7,907 Finished machines and parts 22,077 24,770 26,044 ------- ------- ------- Total current cost value 36,374 37,437 37,664 Adjustments to LIFO basis (18,795) (18,795) (18,873) ------- ------- ------- $ 17,579 $ 18,642 $ 18,791 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN On May 28, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a rights dividend of one preferred share purchase right (Right) for each share of common stock outstanding on June 16, 1997, and provided that one Right would be issued with each share of common stock thereafter issued. The Shareholder Rights Plan provides that in the event a person or group acquires or seeks to acquire 15% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company, the Rights, subject to certain limitations, will become exercisable. Each Right once exercisable initially entitles the holder thereof (other than the acquiring person whose rights are cancelled) to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A preferred stock at an initial exercise price of $55 per one one-hundredth of a share (subject to adjustment), or, upon the occurrence of certain events, common stock of the Company or common stock of an "acquiring company" having a market value equivalent to two times the exercise price. Subject to certain conditions, the Rights are redeemable by the Board of Directors for $.01 per Right and are exchangeable for shares of common stock. The Rights have no voting power and expire on May 28, 2007. NOTE 6 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaces primary EPS with basic EPS, which excludes dilution, and requires presentation of both basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to the current fully diluted EPS. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. The adoption of this statement is not expected to materially affect either future or prior-period EPS. The FASB has also issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". These statements are both effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of these statements is not expected to affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations as they are disclosure only pronouncements. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 28, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 1996 Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $51.6 million, 16% higher than the $44.5 million in the comparable period of 1996. Gehl Construction's net sales increased 31% to $25.4 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $19.4 million in the second quarter of 1996. The Gehl Construction increase resulted from continued strong demand for the Company's products, particularly rough-terrain telescopic forklifts and skid loaders. Gehl Agriculture's net sales increased 4% to $26.2 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $25.1 million in the second quarter of 1996. The increase was due primarily to an increase in shipments of forage harvesting equipment, manure handling equipment and skid loaders. Gross profit increased $2.2 million, or 16%, during the second quarter of 1997 versus the comparable period of 1996, due primarily to increased sales volume. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 30.1% for the second quarter of 1997 from 30.0% in the comparable period of 1996. The shift in product mix of sales to Gehl Construction resulted in the overall Company increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Construction decreased to 32.2% in the second quarter of 1997 from 32.3% for the second quarter of 1996. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Agriculture decreased to 28.2% in the second quarter of 1997 from 28.3% for the second quarter of 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $343,000, or 4%, during the second quarter of 1997 versus the comparable period of 1996. The Company's continued concentration on cost containment resulted in selling, general and administrative expenses decreasing to 17.3% of net sales during the second quarter of 1997 versus 19.4% in the comparable period of 1996. Income from operations in the second quarter of 1997 of $6.6 million was 39% higher than the $4.7 million in the second quarter of 1996. Interest expense decreased $597,000, or 57%, to $459,000 in the second quarter of 1997 from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 1996. The decrease was a result of a reduction in average debt outstanding to $23.8 million in the second quarter of 1997 versus $49.9 million in the second quarter of 1996, combined with a decrease in the average rate of interest paid by the Company to approximately 8.0% in the second quarter of 1997 from 8.3% in the comparable period of 1996. The decrease in the average debt outstanding was primarily the result of cash flow generated from reduced accounts receivable and inventory levels and increased shareholders' equity over the past twelve months. The Company's effective income tax rate was 36% for the second quarter of 1997 versus 20.3% for the second quarter of 1996. Six Months Ended June 28, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended June 29, 1996 Net sales for the first six months of 1997 were $95.3 million, $11.7 million, or 14%, higher than the $83.6 million in the comparable period of 1996. Gehl Construction's net sales increased 27% to $46.2 million in the first six months of 1997 from $36.4 million in the first six months of 1996. The Gehl Construction increase resulted from increased demand for the Company's products, particularly rough-terrain telescopic forklifts and skid loaders. Gehl Agriculture's net sales increased 4% to $49.1 million in the first six months of 1997 from $47.2 in the first six months of 1996. Of the Company's total net sales reported for the first six months of 1997, $16.4 million represented sales made outside of the United States. Gross profit increased $4.2 million, or 17%, during the first six months of 1997 versus the comparable period of 1996, primarily due to the increased sales volume. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 29.9% for the first six months of 1997 from 29.1% in the comparable period of 1996. The shift in product mix of sales to Gehl Construction resulted in the overall Company increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Construction decreased to 31.5% in the first six months of 1997 from 32.0% in the first six months of 1996. The primary reasons for the decrease were a shift in mix of product shipments and a competitive pricing environment in which price increases have not kept pace with cost increases. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Agriculture increased to 28.5% for the first six months of 1997 from 26.9% for the first six months of 1996. The primary reasons for the increase were: 1) reduced product costs due to higher overhead absorption associated with increased levels of production, 2) export sales, typically made at a lower gross margin than domestic sales, constituting a smaller portion of the shipments in 1997 than in 1996, and 3) the impact of a change in the mix of products shipped in 1997 versus products shipped in comparable 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 7%, during the first six months of 1997 versus the comparable period of 1996. The increase in spending is at a lower rate than the increase in sales due to the Company's commitment to containing costs. As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.7% during the first six months of 1997 versus 19.9% in the comparable period of 1996. Income from operations in the first six months of 1997 of $10.7 million was 39% higher than the $7.7 million for the comparable period of 1996. Interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 56%, to $927,000 in the first six months of 1997 from $2.1 million in the first six months of 1996. The decrease was a result of a reduction in average debt outstanding to $23.0 million in the first six months of 1997 versus $49.8 million in the comparable period of 1996, combined with a decrease in the average rate of interest paid by the Company to approximately 8.0% in the first six months of 1997 from 8.2% in the comparable period of 1996. The decrease in the average debt outstanding was primarily the result of cash flow generated from reduced accounts receivable levels and increased shareholders' equity over the past twelve months. Interest income decreased $147,000, or 18%, to $661,000 for the first six months of 1997 from $808,000 in the comparable period of 1996 due primarily to reduced interest income earned on floor plan wholesale receivables and retail finance receivables. The Company's effective income tax rate was 36.0% for the first six months of 1997 versus 19.2% for the first six months of 1996. Financial Condition The Company's working capital was $62.3 million at June 28, 1997, as compared to $57.6 million at December 31, 1996, and $77.3 million at June 29, 1996. The increase since December 31, 1996 resulted primarily from seasonal increases in accounts receivable. The decrease since June 29, 1996 was due primarily to a reduction in accounts receivable and increases in accounts payable. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first six months of 1997 were approximately $3.2 million. The Company plans to make approximately $8.0 million of capital expenditures in 1997, including $4.0 million to expand its two South Dakota manufacturing facilities and add equipment necessary to increase production levels of skid loaders, rough-terrain telescopic forklifts and paving products. Outstanding commitments as of June 28, 1997 totaled approximately $2.1 million, including $1.5 million related to the aforementioned plant expansion projects. As of June 28, 1997, the weighted average interest rate paid by the Company on outstanding borrowings under its line of credit facility was 7.0%. The Company had available unused borrowing capacity of $53.0 million, $45.4 million, and $36.6 million under the line of credit facility at June 28, 1997, December 31, 1996, and June 29, 1996, respectively. At June 28, 1997, December 31, 1996, and June 29, 1996, the borrowings outstanding under the line of credit facility were $11.3 million, $10.5 million and $36.1 million, respectively. The sale of finance contracts is an important component of the Company's overall liquidity. Gehl has arrangements with several financial institutions and financial service companies to sell, with recourse, its finance contracts receivable. The Company continues to service all contracts whether or not sold. At June 28, 1997, Gehl serviced $64.3 million of such contracts, of which $52.6 million were owned by other parties. The Company believes that it has sufficient capacity to sell its retail finance contracts for the foreseeable future. Shareholders' equity at June 28, 1997 was $71.3 million. This amount was $11.3 million higher than the $60.0 million of shareholders' equity at June 29, 1996, due primarily to income earned from June 30, 1996 through June 28, 1997. During the second quarter, the Company reacquired previously issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of it's common stock. Warrants to purchase 130,000 shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
